Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) on Monday said that it was "jaw dropping and stunning" for her Republican opponent for Senate to claim that women who are victims of "legitimate" would not get pregnant.

"This statement is kind of window into Todd Akin's mind," McCaskill explained to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough. "If you really look at his record, you realize that while this is jaw dropping and stunning -- you know, I spent 10 years as a prosecutor and did hundreds and hundreds rape cases, held their hands, cried with them. That's why, for me, this is incredibly painful because it shows how many people are out there -- sometimes in very important positions -- that just don't understand the trauma and don't understand what it means."
